I would imagine, although none of us knows all the facts, that they threw a graduation party for the Afghan police that they had trained. Then the Afghans showed up to celebrate with their pet boys and pockets full of opium.
I doubt whether the company bought boys and opium and passed them around.
So, when these muzzies celebrate their graduation in the usual way, what were their hosts to do? Tell them to stop acting like Muslims and behave themselves?
I certainly agree that this is not nice. But it’s the kind of thing that is going to happen when you try to train stone age Mohammedan savages to fight against the terrorists among them.
Does Wikileaks have any sort of proof that the hosts provided these treats or paid for them? What I remember hearing is that they have a video of Muslims misbehaving in their usual manner. These guys are being paid to train police, not to convert Muslims to civilized Christian behavior. To do that, you’d need to send in missionaries.
The least culpable scenario would be as you envisioned — the contractors were simply surprised at what happened at their graduation party, and not a little dismayed. After all, self control ought to be part of policing — you don’t want cops blitzing themselves out on opium especially if part of their duty is to interdict the stuff. Like a missionary, a trainer needs to know his target culture to be effective.
